    thanks for your guys help

    NCEES #540

    Yea I have the MVA method down though want to make sure I understand calculating using per-unit also. There are a lot of formulas using per-units that I'm not familiar with - like Ssc = Spu/Zpu. Is there a good reference showing how these are derived? Though I think I'll just keep with what I...

    NCEES #540

    is the solution wrong by saying "Ssc = 1/Zpu = 2.75pu" - isn't this Isc unless it is V2/Z i didn't use Isc i used MVAsc = MVA base / Zpu to get the answer. can someone please explain this simple thing to my crazy brain?

    NCEES #512 explanation

    yea my brain is beat - sorry. forgot to * 500' and divide by 1000' which is /2. thanks

    NCEES #540

    this one sort of lost me. what is the impedance dividing? is this just (V^2)/Z

    NCEES #512 explanation

    Thanks. Guys I did the calculation as r1*r1/(r1+r1) and of course it is an answer though wrong according to the ncees. they just find the impedance and divide by 2.

    non-linear

    anyone have good material for non-linear problems? this is the only subject I feel week in and thought i might study a little deeper this week. any online material would be great.

    NCEES #512 explanation

    if the conductors were rated at a different temp would the calc be the same?

    Comparison of Complex Imaginary Variation 1 vs NCEES sample test

    I sent Josh an email about errata and on Oct. 15th he stated "I apologize for the delay. We are in the middle of relocating our business. My partner has sent me the errata and responses to your questions here and on the forum. I'll send those out in a few days this coming week. Thank you...

    Complex Version 1 Probs 17, 20, 59, 69

    Josh sent an email to me stating errata will be provided on some problems. that was on 10/15/2011 and no word from him. I emailed him again asking and just waiting.

    kaplan morning #19

    awesome! thanks for the help on this. I think if i stop working these kaplan problems I'll be good!!!! have the morning done and will hopefully finish the rest here shortly. thanks for pointing out the real power differences in the solutions - something definitely to look for on the exam...

    kaplan morning #19

    so you think i shouldn't be getting freaked out about having problem with some of these? the complex imaginary were pretty easy though not sure if that means anything.

    kaplan morning #19

    thanks. these problems are definitely harder than the ncees so i want to keep tackling them even though it makes you second guess your self a lot. Seems like the comlex imaginary are too easy and the camara are focusing on the EERM. if the exam is like the ncees practice I'll do alright. if...

    kaplan morning #19

    thanks for the help. on 2). i take the generation voltage of 45kV and divide by 138kV to get pu (the problem stated the pu voltage was 138kV. I then take Vpu*conj(Ipu)*sqrt(3). this is where I get stuck. I'm in kva per-unit. and believe Im not converting to the generation kva base and...

    kaplan morning #19

    the book definitely calculated the generator pu voltage wrong. Though I am getting two different answers when working different ways so I might need a little lesson! Give that the pu current is 0.059-0.01078j and the base is 240MVA. The generator Voltage line-line is 45kv and is the...
